Dorothy Must Die By Danielle Paige

But when your whole life gets swept up by a
tornado - taking you with it - you have no choice but to go along, you know?

Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies.
I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little bluebirds. But I never
expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be
trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be
executed for acts of rebellion. There's still a yellow brick road - but even
that's crumbling.

What happened? Dorothy.

They say she found a way to come back to Oz.
They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is
safe.

My name is Amy Gumm - and I'm
the other girl from Kansas.

I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order
of the Wicked.

I've been trained to fight.

And I have a mission.

My Rating

5/5!

My Review

Dorothy is crazy?! Who saw that coming?

I loved this book! If you haven’t read it yet…what are you
waiting for?! I was skeptical at first too because I love the Wizard of Oz and
I didn’t want someone messing up a good thing. But this title though? I had
to read it and I am glad I did.

The book follows Amy Gumm, a high school outcast with a drug
addicted mother from a trailer pack in a dusty city in Kansas. One day there is a
tornado warning and the next thing you know Amy wakes up in Oz with her
mother’s pet rat named star. We get to see and experience Oz with its munchkin,
monkeys and witches all over again. Only NOTHING is the same.

The pace of this book was great! I never found myself bored
or felt it was dragging. There is a lot of world building but it’s freaking Oz
so I just loved every page of that. Amy Gumm is a great main character. You can
really get behind her and root for her. Plus, she is freaking hilarious.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loved Oz
before and anyone who didn’t but likes magic filled humorous fairy tale like
stories.

Dorothy Must Die is the first book in what I think will be a
trilogy. This next book of the series, The Wicked Will Rise, is expected to be
published March 31

Hey guys! I haven't posted a book related post in a while! That is probably because I haven't been reading as much as usual lately. I did read four books in this past Winter. All four were Christian lit and I enjoyed ALL of them! So today I am going to share four Christian books that you should totally read if you haven't already!

Sometimes the more time that passes after reading a book the more the emotional high wears off 7 the more our true options are likely to surface. Sometimes we feel one way after reading only to feel another way later after thinking about the book for awhile. Today I want to share 3 books that my initial feelings toward changed the more I thought about them.
